Creating Movies with PowerPoint

1) Create your PowerPoint presentation, using large photos or graphics and few, if any words, on each page

2) Add narration to each slide

Insert Menu--> Movies and Sounds--> Record Sounds...

• Click the red Record Button to start recording
• Click the Stop Button to stop recording
• Click the Play Button to review the recording
• Rerecord, if necessary
• Name the recording
• Click the Save Button

3) When you have completed the slide show and added all the audio, preview it in its entirety SlideShow Menu--> View Show

Make sure that everything is the way you want it. Does each slide stay on the screen until your narration is complete?

4) If you need to adjust the amount of time a slide remains on the screen...

SlideShow Menu--> Slide Transition

Use the pop-up box to set the time a slide remains on the screen
You can set each slide individually by clicking the Apply button
or set all at once with the same timing by clicking the Apply to All button

5) When you are satisfied with your slide show, it's time to save it as a movie!
File Menu--> Make Movie

Make sure Append file extension is checked. Keep the name of your movie very short, and
be certain the name ends with .mov
